Abstract
A curve tracer reveals a low-level current ‘spike’ in the gate-source characteristic of enhancement-mode MOSFETs. The origin of this spike is explained, and its use in measuring the threshold voltage of any MOSFET at a vanishingly small channel current is described. The technique also identifies whether the MOSFET is n-channel or p-channel, enhancement-mode or depletion-mode.
